City issues stop work order Crews were marking trees for removal on Burnaby MountainWanda [email protected]
The gloves are off as the City of Burnaby issued a stop work order Tuesday morning against Kinder Morgan during its surveying work in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
A city official ordered crews to stop work after the pipeline company arrived with chainsaws and other tree-cutting equipment and began marking trees for removal, said a Burnaby city hall press release.
“I think it’s unfortunate that it has come to this,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in the release, “but we can’t let Kinder Morgan cut down trees and do irreparable damage in a conservation area protected by our City’s bylaws.”
The National Energy Board (NEB) recently confirmed that the NEB Act allows the company to carry out studies to help it determine a route for its proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline.
Veggies, hives to be featured at this year’s event Sunday
It all started three years ago when the European chafer decimated their front lawn in North Burnaby.
“Rather than pay money to put the lawn back in, we got free mulch and manure and built boxes to grow food in our front yard,” said Ninna Snider, 44. That was just the start
for the Kensington-area residents.A year later, Snider and her
husband, Winston Wong, attended the first Heights Garden Tour where they met a beekeeper who was extracting honey.
They stayed to help and were hooked.
The next thing they knew, Snider was researching permaculture and beekeeping, learning how honeybees are endangered yet crucial for
pollination. They set up their own honeybee
hives and set about recruiting people to allow them to install and maintain hives in their backyards.
Today they’ve got 22 hives all over Burnaby and have a waitlist for next

“I am thrilled with the way that this tour has been an inspiration for others,” said Diana Hall, president of the Heights Garden Society, in a press release.
“A little effort made in connecting with the community has great rewards for everyone.”
Beehive recipients have noticed a major difference in their gardens too. The honeybees have attracted bumblebees and other
pollinating insects and “their gardens are just flourishing this year,” said Snider.
She explained that permaculture is a method of interplanting, putting many different types of plants together to ward off pests, and not giving them a single easy target.
Snider is a social worker and Wong sells software. Both are self-taught gardeners.
“Winston never even touched
dirt until he met me 16 years ago,” she said with a laugh. “I say I’m YouTube taught.”
Wong, 42, said of their approach to gardening, “We get enthused about a lot of things and we want to try it all.”
In addition to saving money on food, being able to eat from the garden year-round, and knowing where their food comes from, their front-yard approach has led them to meet more of their
neighbours who have shared years of gardening experience.
When they couldn’t get rid of aphids on their apple trees, older Italian ladies in the neighbourhood told them to boil their rhubarb leaves and spray the liquid onto the trees.
“And it worked,” Snider said. “I never would have found that in a book.”
• The self-guided tour is by donation. Tour maps are available
at the first stop, the Heights Community Garden at 3897 Pender St. In addition to walking or cycling, a bus and driver is also available to transport tour participants. The end of the tour features an afternoon tea and cooking demonstration by trained chef Antonietta as part of the city-funded Kitchen Conversations project.

Pedestrian struck earlier this summer, regular close callsWanda [email protected]
Manjinder “Mike” Bhangu has been extra wary and cautious lately when crossing the street at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street.
It’s no surprise since he was struck by a car there and knocked unconscious on June 30.
So Bhangu is relieved that area residents’ call for a traffic signal at the crossing cleared its first hurdle Tuesday evening.
That’s when the city’s traffic safety committee endorsed a city staff recommendation that a full signal be installed there.
The intersection near Burnaby Hospital and Cascade Heights elementary is currently controlled by four-way stop signs.
But as a NewsLeader reporter observed during one afternoon in July,
heavy rush-hour traffic often results in drivers not stopping. There can be confusion among motorists and pedestrians over who has the right-of-way, and wide-turning transit buses and delivery trucks sometimes have to delay turns to accommodate each other.
The engineering department report noted the intersection has been studied before, in 2009 and 2011, in response to safety
concerns. “Both times the intersection was considered a potential candidate for a signal, but was not considered the highest priority.”
City staff conducted another
analysis in response to area resident Jim Favaro petitioning city hall for a signal following Bhangu’s accident. While traffic counts and field observations in July showed lower traffic volumes than in past studies, that was expected due to the summer holiday season, the report said.
But based on past counts and the hospital
and school being nearby traffic generators, staff have decided a signal “would be beneficial during peak periods,” it said.
“The latest field observations found that there were many instances of poor driver behaviour including not following the 4-way stop procedure
or running the stop signs. The presence of pedestrians would increase the potential for confusion and conflicts during peak periods.”
It’s not yet a done deal as the proposed signal must still get final approval from city council. If it gets the go-ahead, the signal is
estimated to cost $230,000 and would be installed in 2015 at the earliest.
City staff have contacted Burnaby RCMP to monitor and enforce traffic violations as needed in the meantime.
Favaro, who spoke to the traffic safety committee along with Bhangu, said in
an interview that the area has changed in the last decade with the addition of the Discovery Park business area and more residents thanks to secondary suites.
His petition garnered 162 signatures with the majority coming online, where a number of comments mentioned other close calls at the intersection.
“I’m encouraged and I’m optimistic,” Favaro said. “It’s the first meeting the [traffic] safety committee had since the accident so that’s very responsive.”
As for Bhangu, he said he’s still making a gradual recovery from a concussion and hopes to be able to walk without a cane soon.
But he’s hopeful the signal will mean no one else will have to experience what he has.
Even before the accident he was nervous crossing at Smith and Kincaid. “So many people, they go blindly,” he said of motorists. “They don’t understand what the meaning of ‘stop’ is. So many just touch their brakes briefly and just go.”

An injured red-tailed hawk has arbourists and two animal welfare groups to thank for its rescue from a tree Friday.
A hiker spotted the raptor in Burnaby’s Froggers Creek Ravine Park after he heard repeated cries from a bird, said the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. in a press release.
When he looked up he saw the hawk hanging upside down about 50 feet off the ground.
Its left leg was wedged in a branch.
The hiker called the Burnaby branch of the SPCA which in turn called ABC Tree Men of Burnaby and Wildlife Rescue to assist.
ABC sent out a crew of arbourists to the scene.
One member climbed the tree, rigging a rappel system, while a co-worker gave directions from below. The arbourist put a blanket over the bird, freed its leg from the tree and brought it to safety on the ground.
The hawk was placed in a
crate and taken to Wildlife Rescue’s Burnaby Lake rehabilitation centre where it remains in care. Its left wing and leg is swollen and bruised but no bones are broken. It is also being treated for an old pellet wound injury.
“The hawk is a large bird and it was in a stressful situation,” said Wildlife Rescue spokesperson Yolanda Brooks
in giving kudos to ABC Tree Men for their efforts.
“Their arbourist had to carry out a tricky maneuver to circle the tree and capture it from above while avoiding further injury or upset to the bird. The rescue mission was a success and the hawk is expected to make a full recovery.”

First and foremost, let me say I support the free collective bargaining process.
It may seem flawed, but it works in the majority of situations. At its best, the process allows for the free exchange of ideas, good discourse and compromise to resolve issues to mutual benefit and move forward.
Both sides are then invested in the outcome. At its worst, it is about arrogance, power and stubbornness.
In the current dispute that has shut B.C.’s public schools, there is a long history of mistrust whose recent incarnation came as a result of the province arbitrarily removing class size and composition clauses from the teachers’ Collective Agreement. In obtaining clauses on class size and composition, teachers would have chosen these over other proposals (including forgoing wage increases) that they were presented with at the time. The government gave no compensation to teachers when they removed the clauses.
The courts have ruled it
was illegal to prevent teachers from bargaining their working conditions (class size and composition). The case is still before the courts and the outcome of the government’s appeal is due in October. This decision can be appealed again and there won’t be a final decision for several years. The financial cost to the BCTF and the province (taxpayers) is substantial and will continue to amass.
With two BC Supreme Court rulings in their favour, teachers now want their usurped clauses returned to the Collective Agreement and the province knows the huge financial liability they face as there could be grievances dating back to 2002.
I believe this encapsulates the two sides and issues. There are intangibles in that the eventual
outcome of the court case is uncertain.
The government has been characterized as arrogant and mean-spirited. I cannot speak for them except to say they most certainly must realize the financial implications.
The teachers have been described as greedy and overpaid. If you listen to the comments on radio shows and social media it would be easy to believe this.
With time spent both walking the picket lines and playing hockey with them, I have come to fundamentally understand teachers.
Do they want a pay raise? Of course, but it is not to buy a bigger house or a nicer car—it is truly to recognize the job they do in educating our children. For them it is more about respect for their profession.
Do they want better working conditions?
Of course, who doesn’t? The difference is that their daily classroom involvement makes them see that smaller classes don’t just benefit them personally; smaller classes
also make for a better learning experience for children.
Do they want better class composition?
Yes they do, and they’re prepared to defend this position. The specific “mix” of students of varying abilities within a classroom and the amount of support they receive is universally recognized to be a key factor in our children’s learning environment.
Teacher collective bargaining is somewhat, although not completely, unique in that they are driving social change through the process.
As I come to realize this more and more, I gain respect for their stance.
Not all teachers are altruistic, but I believe the overwhelming majority are taking a stand with the best interests of students in mind.
We need a fair settlement so the public education system can reopen. We need children in school to learn. We need teachers onside doing the job they love to do.
Invest in education, and save later

Organ donation isn’t for everyone.
Depending on religious beliefs or personal preference, some people choose not to donate their organs after death. But for those of us who don’t have any stipulations about organ donation, the question remains – why don’t more of us register to become donors?
According to B.C. Transplant, there is a critical shortage of organs available for transplant not only in B.C., but all over the world.
In 2013, B.C. had the highest living donor rate in the country of 28 per million and 14.5 per cent in deceased donor rate – equalling the national average. There were 346 transplants and the number of organ donors (130 living and 67 deceased) increased as well. But the numbers are still very low compared to the number of people that die in the province each year.
Volunteers with B.C. Transplant say some people still aren’t aware they even have to register to become a donor.
Fifteen years ago, the method of becoming a donor included simply putting a dot on a driver’s licence.
Now, that method is no longer valid and people wishing to become donors must register directly with B.C. Transplant.After death, each person has the ability to help up to 75 different people and save or extend the lives of as many as seven people by becoming an organ donor.
Currently there are 473 people in B.C. waiting for vital organs.
Only 13 per cent of residents in the Fraser Health region have signed up as donors—the lowest of any region in the province.
The numbers speak for themselves.. More of us need to step up and take the few minutes it requires to register as an organ donor at transplant.bc.ca.
You could end up saving a life right in your own backyard.

COMMENTIt’s becoming
apparent that the fall-back plan for Christy Clark and Mike De Jong for balancing the budgets is to rip off vehicle owners through siphoning hundreds of millions of what would be profits for ICBC, and calling these thefts dividends.
It seems to me that if there are millions in profits, those profits should be returned to the ratepayers, not to the government’s general revenue fund, to help them balance the budget on the backs of vehicle owners in B.C.
The initial object of publicly owned automobile insurance was to operate on a break-even proposition, and profit was not supposed to be a component of publicly owned insurance
corporations, and any profits are returned to the ratepayers, not to the government so they can apply it to unfunded operational budgets of the provincial government.

New route for goNdola?
With the new Evergreen line being built, the proponents of the proposed gondola to SFU need to change their focus, as the new station near the Burquitlam plaza will give them a much better argument for the Gondola being built.
Firstly it is closer to SFU, which should result in it being less expensive to construct, and also will result in quicker trips.
It will also go over an area with significantly fewer homes, and encounter fewer objections.

In 2010 tar sands tailing ponds covered more than 175 square kilometers. At the current rate of expansion, it has been estimated this will grow to 250 square kilometers by 2020.
The tar sands industry website “Oilsands Today” describes the content of tailings ponds as follows:
1. The bottom layer, a mixture of clay and water called fine tailings, takes a long time to settle and solidify. Even after many years it will still have the consistency of yogurt, and can take up to 30 years to separate and dry out.
2. The remaining water, because it has come into contact with oil during the extraction process, contains concentrations of
natural chemicals that are toxic to fish.
3. The small amount of residual oil that floats to the surface of the pond poses a risk to waterfowl.
Near Fort McMurray is a 220-hectare rise that’s been renamed Wapisiw Lookout. For 30 years it was a Suncor tailings depository known as Pond 1. It has been drained of polluted water, filled with 65,000 truckloads of soil, and planted with 600,000 trees and shrubs. At the end of 20 years it will be eligible to be certified as a successful reclamation. It is misleading to call tailings sites ponds; they’re larger than many lakes. And, as much as the tar sands industry and their government supporters would prefer the public to think otherwise, they are lakes of toxic pollution.
By the end of this decade there should be the equivalent of 110 tailings lakes the size of Wapisiw Lookout in the tar sands area. If one represents a minimal risk, what do 110 add up to?
A reader suggests proponents of a gondola to SFU consider a new starting point.

Does the government economic agenda need to be satisfied? As a taxpayer, I say it’s definitely a factor. But putting more money in now to prevent what could be even larger monetary costs once the court case is decided would save us in the long term. We would save future court costs and potentially huge grievance settlement costs for a prudent investment now.
In all bargaining disputes, there must be compromise on both sides. A reasonable solution can and must be negotiated without delay. It’s time to stop the finger pointing and get on with the job of negotiating a new agreement.

E arlier in the summer I was back in Ontario for a conference and had the
opportunity to visit my parents for a couple of days.
In my former bedroom, a poster of the poem “How to be an Artist” now hangs. You can read the whole poem at http://planetsark.com/sark-blankets.
What has struck me for years about the poster and what was reinforced again during this visit as I recited the poem is that being an artist is really about an attitude, a state of mind.
While skill and hard work are necessary components for success, the poem emphasizes the need to play, to embrace the unexpected and to experiment every day.
Right from the opening lines—“Stay Loose. Learn to watch snails. Plant impossible gardens. Invite someone dangerous to tea. Make little signs that say Yes! and post them all over your house.
Make friends with freedom and uncertainty. Look forward to dreams …”—the reader is
exposed to what seem like silly statements.
But collectively the poem suggests that we take time to embrace the little things in life much like the inquisitive way that children experience the everyday.
In this same spirit of staying loose and watching snails, I invite you to play and experiment at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts this fall, and unleash your inner artist. With so many visual and performing arts program offerings to register for and a full theatre season of music, theatre and dance productions to experience there is no shortage of opportunities to be curious in your own backyard.

And it can do so without the permission of landowners, even when the property belongs to a municipality like the City of Burnaby.
Burnaby opposes the project and its legal counsel, Greg McDade, has said despite the NEB ruling, city bylaws can not be violated.
“We were prepared to allow them to access this conservation land for non-invasive work that could be repaired over time, but absolutely not to do what they arrived this morning to do—to cut down trees to create helicopter landing pads and sites for drilling bore holes on this protected land,” said Corrigan.
The company started work on Burnaby Mountain last week beginning with cutting down brush, said Lizette Parsons Bell, spokesperson for the Trans Mountain expansion project.
Crews were preparing to
remove a rotten tree, marking out where it would fall, to ensure the safety of its workers, she said.
That’s when Burnaby city officials issued the “orders to cease bylaw contraventions.”
“The NEB confirmed we have the rights under Section 73 (of the NEB Act) to complete the work,” Parsons Bell said.
The company will consult with its lawyers before deciding on its next moves.
In the meantime, its crews remained on Burnaby Mountain doing studies, which include watercourse and groundwater assessments, wildlife surveys and soil and archeological studies.
She noted that while the crews were on site, a large tree branch fell from a tree about 40 feet away from the workers, across Centennial Way.
“Nobody was hurt but it does indicate there’s some issues with the vegetation in the area.”
Parsons Bell stressed that despite the city’s claims, the company is not seeking to build a helicopter landing pad in the area. In fact, she said, no helicopters will be landing there at all.
Rather, drilling equipment will be driven as close to the drill site as possible, to a proposed staging site located in an existing clearing. A helicopter would then fly in, the equipment would be attached to it with a lead and then lifted into place.
She said the helicopter would operate for about one day, a total of 60 to 90 minutes and for about 10 minutes at a time.
The proposed $5.4-billion pipeline twinning between Edmonton and Burnaby would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and bring hundreds of additional oil tankers through Burrard Inlet each year.
No plan for a helicopter pad, Kinder Morgan says
Man found at side of highway
Burnaby RCMP are asking for the public’s help in figuring out what happened to a man found injured on the shoulder of a Highway 1 offramp early Tuesday.
Just before 1 a.m., Burnaby Mounties were contacted by Port Mann Freeway Patrol about a man in his 50s found at the side of the road, said Staff Sgt. Major John Buis.
The man was described as having “either fallen or jumped or dumped on the highway,” Buis said. He was found off the eastbound side of the highway, just west of the Willingdon offramp.
The man was taken to hospital where he is in critical condition with a serious head injury. He has not yet been able to talk to police. “We’re still trying to figure out who he is,” Buis said.
Police were initially notified by a passerby in the distance who indicated a newer model, beige pickup truck could be involved.
Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants.
Description of the Project
The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal.
New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC.
The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website.
Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing
Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so.
The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate.
While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section.
The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca
under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion
This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
Contacts
Information on NEB hearing processes and participant funding is available at www.neb-one.gc.ca/TransMountainExpansion. If you require additional information, the NEB has a dedicated Project-specific Process Advisor Team to provide assistance.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.
LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.
Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,
whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.
DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the
V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.
The LowdownPower: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hpFill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

ANN ARBOR, MI. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in?An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?”When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that
way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong.We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the naviga-tion system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry.Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation.The first is a peppy 2.4L,
4-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.Then there’s the spir-ited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a 6-speed automatic trans-mission.There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, bet-ter handling and an overall improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harsh-ness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns.The first thing I noticed was how much better the han-dling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes
work together with the se-dan’s engine, transmission, and Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to suit dif-ferent driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmis-sion response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyun-dai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thick-ness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steering
system feel, especially at high speed.”I’d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there.But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside.Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille.Featuring even higher qual-ity materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. Placement of the buttons and switches in the Sonata was paramount and was a major focus for designers and engineers.On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sonata’s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more
sophisticated and mature.It’s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrun-ners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains cool and collected and has the goods to keep
up with the best of them. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a starting MSRP of $23,999. The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate has an MSRP of $34,799.

Vancouver Home + Design Show returns to BC Place
By Kerry Vital
Adera has been inspired by greatness with Prodigy, their newest condominium project at the University of British Columbia.
“Prodigy will be the best building we’ve ever built,” says Eric Andreasen, vice-president of marketing and sales for Adera. “We’ve taken what we learned from our past projects at UBC and put it all into Prodigy.”
Prodigy is Adera’s second six-storey wood-
frame project at UBC, and will include two buildings and 188 homes ranging from 640 to almost 1,000 square feet.
“It’s been highly successful so far,” says Andreasen. “Th e fi rst phase is almost 50 per cent sold, and now we’re looking forward to the next phase of the building.”
Prodigy’s exterior is inspired by the natural surroundings, incorporating exposed wood beams, cedar soffi ts and warm brick cladding. A dramatic two-storey glass lobby bridge and breezeway will link the two buildings. Residents on the penthouse level will all have their own private roof deck, known as Adera’s signature West Coast Lanai. Th e roof soffi ting will be extended over a portion of the deck to allow homeowners to use their deck year-round.
“Th is is something people will be proud to come home to,” Andreasen says.
Th e defi ning feature will be the extensive
water elements, including the massive refl ecting pond in the interior courtyard, where ground-fl oor patios will have water right up to the edge. Residents will also have stunning views of neighbouring Mundell Park and the lush landscaping that will surround Prodigy.
Inside, homeowners will fi nd an elegant kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, quartz slab countertops and a porcelain tile backsplash. One of the upgrades available is the “Ultimate Gourmet Kitchen” package, which Andreasen notes is now going to be standard in the penthouse units aft er several buyers on that level requested it.
Th e luxurious bathrooms feature porcelain tile fl ooring, complemented by quartz slab countertops and sleek plumbing fi xtures.
Homeowners at Prodigy will have access to the i.D. By Me program, which allows you to personalize your home with upgrades that are
right for your lifestyle and your personality. Some of the options you can choose include your colour scheme, upgrading your appliances, changing your fl ooring, or custom millwork.
Th ere will be pedestrian and cyclist-only green streets on two sides of Prodigy, enhancing the natural feel of the entire development, and connecting Prodigy to various parks and other parts of Wesbrook Village.
Homeowners at Prodigy will be able to take advantage of all the amenities that the neighbourhood has to off er, including an elementary and secondary school, shopping, dining and recreation. Th ey will also be just steps from Pacifi c Spirit Regional Park, with its 762 hectares of beaches and temperate rain forest.
Homes at Prodigy start in the low 400s. For more information, visit www.adera.com, email [email protected], call 604-221-8878 or visit the presentation centre at 106-5983 Gray Avenue, Vancouver, open daily between noon and 5 p.m.
Submitted photosProdigy is Adera’s second six-storey wod-frame project at the University of British Columbia. Among the beautiful features of the homes are stainless-steel appliances and quartz slab countertops in the kitchen.

“We are so excited to welcome our favourite designing duo back to the Vancouver Home + Design Show!” says Jill Kivett, regional director at Marketplace Events, who owns and operates the Vancouver Home + Design Show. “Colin and Justin made their Vancouver debut at our show in spring 2007, and we can’t wait for our show-goers to get re-acquainted.
From their signature humour to their spot-on design savvy, our crowds are defi nitely in for a well-deserved treat.”
Th e Metrie Main Stage will host several local experts, including Jamie Banfi eld of Jamie Banfi eld Design, Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. and Leigh-Ann Perrrault, a DIY blogger and regular contributor to Cityline.
Other highlights include the Samsung Tag Team Kitchen Challenge, indoor street market Portobello West and Ask A Designer, among others. Th e show runs until Sunday Oct. 19.
“Good design is all about fi nding your personal style and translating it eff ectively and aff ordably into everyday life,” says Kivett. “We’re looking to give every single person to walk through our show at least one tip they can use in their space, whether they rent or own. It’s take-home advice in its fi nest form.”
